Land Rover hydraulic take off.

[Le Sanglier]

Like many on here I have a Land Rover special vehicles with a hydraulic winch

(that I love!) and a plugging in point for tools, I have never used it although I know it works. does any one on here use this facility for splitters, hydraulic saws etc? if so any pics, stories?

It will run a splitter but you will need to match whatever you are plugging in to the output of the pump. The pump output should be matched to the motor in the winch so it won't be monumental, but it will certainly run a small splitter.

Thanks, I think a stumbling block may be that the fittings are 3/8ths whereas the majority of tools run on 1/2 inch(I think)

That's easy, just change the fittings on the vehicle:thumbup1:

:blushing:Never thought of that! thanks (pipe size is irrelevant then?)

A long as you are going up in size:laugh1:

entendu, thanks

The superwinch H14W driven by hydraulics are normally set to ~150bar (+-10bar), tractors are 175bar to 205bar, so you may find some reduction in the strength of any splitter etc as the PRV on the land rover will bypass sooner than the one on the implement, most of the PTO pumps mounted on the transfer box are ~60L/min flow.

 

But there were a number of methods the hydraulic systems were arranged which would dictate if the auxiliary would be as per the winch pressure (unified spool block with 2 levers – one for the winch and one for the auxiliary with one PRV so one pressure)

 

if there were 2 different pressures (separate spool blocks in series each with their own PRV with the one closest to the pump for the auxiliary with the pass-through/return into the winch one)

 

or if the auxiliary is activated by a solenoid valve or manual double 3-way valve that diverts all the hydraulics to the auxiliary and is devoid of pressure regulation on the land rover (the implement MUST have its OWN spool block with PRV) so one of the auxiliary pipes is always the feed and the other the return. (this type should always have a bypass hose plugged in between the auxiliary pipes in case the pump is turned on and switched over to auxiliary without anything connected)

Thanks, I think I will forward this to my brother who fits autosteer units to tractors, because I'd be lying if I said I understood all that.

I am intending to use the hydraulic system on my land rover to run a splitter. It doesn't , and I am pretty sure it never did, have a hydraulic winch. From what I can make out from the above post I have the last type. Will this system run a small splitter and can you explain the bypass hose to me?

 

Also can I fit a hydraulic winch to the system at a later date?

 

I see you are in mid-shropshire perhaps you could take a look at the system as I know nothing about hydraulics. I am based in Ellesmere.
